How much does a box of Pomalidomide cost?

Pomalidomide is a prescription drug that may be taken with the drug dexamethasone to treat adults with multiple myeloma who have received at least 2 previous drugs for multiple myeloma, including proteasome inhibitors and lenalidomide, and whose disease has worsened during treatment or within 60 days of the end of the last treatment. It is not known whether pomalidomide is safe and effective in children.

A clinical trial studied455 patients with multiple myeloma who had stopped responding to at least 2 prior drugs. A phase 3 clinical trial is determining whether pomalidomide combined with low-dose dexamethasone can effectively treat relapsed multiple myeloma.研究结果显示服用泊马度胺和低剂量地塞米松的患者的中位PFS为3.6个月。 That's twice as long as the 1.8 months patients survived without disease progression when given high-dose dexamethasone alone.

Pomalidomide, independently developed in China, has been launched domestically and has now entered the scope of medical insurance. The price of domestically produced Pomalidomide may be around RMB 4,000 per box, while the Turkish version sold overseas may be priced around RMB 15,000 per box (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rates), which is relatively expensive. There are also cheaper generic drugs produced in other countries overseas. The price of each box produced by a Lao pharmaceutical factory may be around a few hundred yuan (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate). The ingredients of foreign generic drugs, domestically produced drugs and foreign original drugs are basically the same.
